My advice here is to make sure that  you not only save/ back up your tree as normal but that you also save/export as a gedcom file - this way you have a hope to transfer your tree to another program should the need arise down the track.  I have a similar problem with my old version of "generations" which does not work with the newer Windows.

The ending of support simply means that updates won't be offered and Ancestry won't answer questions about the product. Your Family Tree Maker will continue to work just as it does now. On another list, there are reports that FTM works on all recent version of Windows up to and including 10. So, if you upgrade your computer, you should be able to mov e it to the new machine. -rt_/) ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Wednesday, December 9, 2015 3:03:37 PM Subject: LANCSGEN Digest, Vol 10, Issue 296 Ancestry say they are no longer supporting this soft ware, should I be concerned??
